(a)the court is satisfied that a vehicle was used in or for the purposes of the commission of the offence; and
(b)at the time of his conviction the offender has rights in the vehicle.
(4) An order under this Article operates to deprive the offender of his rights in the vehicle (including its fuel) at the time of his conviction and to vest those rights in the Department.
(5) In a case where a vehicle has been seized under Article 5E and the offender retains rights in any of the vehicle's contents, an order under this Article may, if and to the extent that it so specifies, deprive the offender of those rights and vest them in the Department.
(6) Where an order under this Article is made, the Department may take possession of the vehicle (if it has not already done so under Article 5F).
(7) The court may make an order under this Article whether or not it also deals with the offender in any other way in respect of the offence of which he is convicted.
(8) In considering whether to make an order under this Article a court must in particular have regard to—

(b)the likely financial and other effects on the offender of the making of the order (taken together with any other order that the court contemplates making);
(c)the offender's need to use the vehicle for lawful purposes;
(d)whether, in a case where it appears to the court that the offender is engaged in a business which consists wholly or partly in activities which are unlawful by virtue of Article 4, the making of the order is likely to inhibit the offender from engaging in further such activities.
